Wait, there are SAS questions on this exam? I thought we were just going to juggle COBOL code and pray for the best.

Option D? Really? That's like trying to build a spaceship to go to the grocery store. Let's keep it simple, folks.

I'm going with Option C. It's a classic dummy variable creation technique, and it looks like it would work well with the given data set.

Hmm, I'm not sure about Option B. Shouldn't we avoid using the PROC TRANSPOSE statement for this task? Seems like overkill.

Option A looks like the most straightforward way to create dummy variables. The other options seem a bit convoluted.

Option C is also incorrect because it uses PROC MEANS instead of PROC TRANSPOSE.

Option A is actually incorrect because it uses PROC SQL instead of PROC TRANSPOSE.

I think Option A is not correct because it uses PROC FORMAT.
